10/15: Krill’s final Boston shows at Great Scott

It’s the end of an era for Boston music; Krill is breaking up. We can be sad, pout and continue to cry, but let’s do Krill true justice to their services to the Boston music scene. Let’s make their last night the best night. They’re playing an early and late show this night, and they’re both sold out. Conspiracy theories on who will be opening are welcome. Ovlov? Arvid Noe? You Can Be a Wesley? Pretty & Nice?

10/17: Kal Marks, Left & Right, Milk, Dinoczar and Rye Pines at O’Brien’s

Another stacked bill at O’Brien’s this month and it’s brought to us from Coach and Sons. Thanks, Coach! Local heavyweights Kal Marks top the bill, and we’re hoping for some new tracks from their upcoming album. Left & Right is touring from Philly. Milk, Dinoczar and Rye Pines bring an eclectic mix of local support to leave you anything but snoozing.

10/18: Meat Wave, The Dirty Nil and Animal Flag at Great Scott

Did someone say they needed a reason to feel extra punk? Probably not, because a real punk wouldn’t say that but this is the night for you, punk friends. Meat Wave and The Dirty Nil come from the far-off lands of Chicago and Toronto respectively to bring you the edge you need. Meat Wave’s strong 2014 EP and 2015 album Delusion Moon represent some of the best hard punk we’ve heard in a while. The Dirty Nil hasn’t played in Boston since that weird thing went down at Tasty Burger. Animal Flag is a local band that fits like the middle pea in the pod between these two touring peas in a pod. I’m hungry sorry.
